A double yolker! a boy and girl, (Oliver and Lisa) IN-Separable!! She tried hatching Lisa's eggs but only one made it. This thing is so little, We...

    Help me SAVE my chicken who I think has Gapeworm

    Yes, that's best when they are sick, keeps em from spreading whatever it is around too! I'm not sure, but I think the bantams are friendlier by nature. I have mostly bantams with only 4 full size chickens and one rooster.

    Oh I'm sorry, I Know NOTHING about other diseases really. Did she survive? I kept this one in with me a few days after I gave the dog wormer (ultraguard plus) and she was as sassy as could be. I put her back out with her sisters and I honestly can't tell them apart now myself, but my son can...

    Help me SAVE my chicken who I think has Gapeworm

    Oh Thank you, you're very kind. I can look, but I do think I've read all of the posts with the word gapeworm in them!! I read for two days and my eyeballs are crossed! I finally decided to give her the Ultraguard plus dog wormer, @ 1 tsp per 5 lb, (which is 1ml per lb and we weighed her at 1lb...

    Chick stumbling around after being pecked-no visible injuries-help!

    Is it just me? Why do all these threads seem to end cold? no resolution... I feel like I'm only getting "page 1 of 5" or something! I'm having similar trouble with a similar little hen, and each thread I've thought looked promising has dead-ended on me... Am I seeing this wrong?

    Do they die from fear?

    They're about 3 months old. there were 10 plus Mom in a 3 x 4' dog cage... There didn't seem to be any "symptoms" prior... They had just been fed, watered and "checked on" a short time prior. Yesterday they were fine and 1/2 hr later it was gone.... <3 breaking!

    Do they die from fear?

    I know from experience that a bantam can sometimes freeze up and seem comatose (dead) after being attacked by other chickens, on two occasions, but then "woke-up" and was fine shortly after I picked him up and coddled him... but I have had several young chicks die mysteriously on me lately...
